Figure 12
A "hot counterturn" is one in which the bogey is brought closer to the nose faster than the
ideal pattern. In figure 13, the bogey was brought to the nose too quickly and overshot the
bogey's flight path.

Displacement Turn Variations
A proper displacement turn is critical to a proper CT. The effects of displacing differently
than the prescribed amount in the displacement turn will place the bogey in the hot or cold areas
of the CT. A guideline to correct for a less than perfect displacement turn is below. In all cases,
the weapons officer will strive to displace at the appropriate range for the given TA.
